Each operator is interested in finding errors in a module, string, or a group quickly because they can reduce the amount of energy produced and the life of the system greatly. With the help of the Generator Connection Box string.CB the individual solar module strands of a photovoltaic system can be connected in parallel and connected to larger wire cross sections to the inverter. Thus, defects, contamination, theft or misinterpretation of individual strings are detected and corrected promptly and accurately. With the integrated string.bloxx it is possible to monitor and to control, inverter-independent precisely the DC side photovoltaic systems. The data exchange between a strinbloxx and superior management system can be direct, for example, the data logger Q.reader or the Controller Q.pac directly via the open standard Modbus RTU Busexample, a SCADA integration via OPC server problems. 24 Generator Gantner Instruments Environment Solutions GmbH · www.gantner-environment.com · office@gantner08297 Zwönitz/Germany · Tel. +49 (0) 37754 3351-0 · Fax +49 (0) 37754 3351-20 Most important features? 8, 16 or 24 PV strings can be connectedother versions available on request?
